Suggestion to have extra coders for more updates

[Liliette]

I support this. Absolutely!

Massive support. There are tons of small changes that have been requested for years and I'm sure having an extra hand or a few would greatly help out Nick. He's got his own life outside of CS, but being able to get some heavily requested suggestions implemented maybe a tad bit faster would benefit the site greatly.

I don't imagine they could hire any more professional coders for bigger updates though, since there isn't a ton of funding aside from c$ sales to help keep the site running. But imo, that's completely fine since i think a good majority of the userbase would be fine with just smaller updates if it meant more improvements they've wanted.

Support - if it's a security thing, the person could just submit their work to Nick, without having any true access to the site.. but another programmer or 2 for QoL stuff would be amazing!

Oh i actually like that thought. then nick could give it a go on a test server to see just exactly what it might do and any issues that could possibly occur because of it, before deciding to add it to the site itself (or scrapping it if he feels that it would hurt the site or its users)

slides in here to give a sneaky bump

also, a small tiny tidbit of new information: I found the phpBB files for a small phpBB forum that my friends and I have (private, just for us) and... wow

I kinda understand why there haven't been any new coders to this day. Some of the phpBB files where you make stuff happen... have........... some info that is sensitive and that I bet even moderators won't see.

But! Those files were basically database files. (phpMyAdmin) I haven't found the files for the actual webpages, and I can't imagine that they would have any sensitive info. So my point from the previous page still stands: Getting more coders on board for small QoL updates (cough confirm logout cough) shouldn't be that bad

(NICK PLS TAKE ME ABOARD EVEN THOUGH I MIGHT NOT KNOW WHAT I'M DOING I'M STILL A COMPUTER SCIENCE MAJOR AND I DON'T HAVE A JOB YET ANYWAY I PROMISE I'M TRUSTWORTHY)

Heya! Reviving this cause i definitely feel like it is a must! Even if the CS team has to figure out crowdfunding from us to prepare major website updates so they can hire professionals!

Because as someone who has been here since CS started, which means 2009, it really hasnt changed at all. And i want what is best for the site and CS, which means it is about time that some proper innovation occurs. Which is impossible with a one man team. I would be completely fine with them making small site events out of the crowdfunding or even just doing kickstarters or patreons if it meant we could hire professionals on a contract for MAJOR updates that would benefit a ton.
